The project in PNG, run by Sago Network, used WorldSkills Foundation support to find the most appropriate hand powered water pumps for the local conditions.

HH has provided support to develop assessment protocols for composting toilet use and function and to consider a variety of toilet options for coastal PNG

Projects

WS PNG Sanitation Project

Sago Network, with the assistance of the WorldSkill Foundation, developed hand pump technology for water supply. Data loggers combined with other ideas for assessing the use, effectiveness and local acceptance of the 2 composting toilets have also been put in place.

Sago Network will continue the projects in PNG. HH continues to be a project partner willing to offer advice help but no future works are currently planned.

People are not the problem. We’ve never found that. The problem: poor living environment, poor housing and the bugs that do people harm. None of those are limited by geography, by skin color or by religion. None of them. The common link between all the work we’ve had to do is one thing, and that’s poverty.
